They're beautiful Spanish 1920s houses that we spent hundreds of thousands on to fix up from when they were vandalized in the late 90s.So this is from the Long Beach business Journal: http://www.lbbizjournal.com/single-post/2016/08/01...These landlord, home owner groups need to band together to allow property rights in California.

He mentioned a study done by Vanderbilt saying that the actual number of people moving to Middle TN is probably closer to 101 (net), vs a previous estimate by a business journal that had the number around 85.

I would keep a journal and pictures of the whole process to show a potential buyer the quality that was put in and no shortcuts were taken etc.

And as @Bill S. said, looking at statistics for the whole state will be skewed, it's more helpful to understand the different regional markets.Colorado Real Estate Journal- list of lots of resources.and a couple more that I don't think are on the list above:DBJ Pinnacle Reports 

@Jay BoyleI see some good responses here, but just to be explicit, here are the following journal entries you would be creating for the lifecycle of a security deposit.Example:Renter pays a security deposit of $1,100 on the 10/15/2017.A year goes by...On 10/15/2018, the tenant moves out.On 10/20/2018, you check out the apartment and find that there is $250 worth of damage you want to net against the security deposit.On 10/25/2018, you return $850 to the tenant (hopefully they don't fuss over it!)

However, as @Darren Sager mentioned above, you should be able to cashflow properties that meet the 1% rule by reducing vacancies and other strategies.Some of the neighborhoods that I'm currently focusing are Journal Square, JC Heights, MC Kinley square and some parts of downtown that are still affordable (in terms of price/rent ratio).

I'm a practicing attorney, part time investor with two properties in the Journal Square section of Jersey City, and two properties in Las Vegas.

I'm trying to learn about the industry as well, and I was recommended by a top broker to read my local business journal (Orange County Business Journal) and Globe Street (www.globest.com).

I haven't used it, just ran across it in the Journal of Property Management:www.GetRealGetReady.orgThey did a little bit of overkill on the Intro, but whatever.

The Wall Street Journal just reported that the US savings rate in May was the highest since 1993.
